Exactly....lesser of two evils is something they cannot deal with so they deliver Obama for 4 more.

[DJ MacWoW]

The problem DJ is that Romney isn't one of us.

Why in the world would you even assume that I was talking about Romney when I said "The elites are very happy that we are shooting at one another instead of them."?!

*sigh*

I’m very late to this thread and don’t have time to read the comments, I likely get the gist.

It’s been my experience here, that our members are some of the smartest on the whole of the Internet and prayerful, too, so whatever they ultimately decide to do with their own presidential vote, is entirely up to each of them individually.

I know that each will decide after careful consideration and prayer.

It serves no useful purpose squabble amongst ourselves. I’m certain we all know that Romney is not our choice.

You write that voting for a third-party candidate "assures Husein of another term. Again I really don't think we get another shot here. Think of the closing scene in Thelma & Louise, with 0bama driving the car. That's where the country's headed."

I understand your concern but I don't think matters are as bad as you depict -- certainly not so dire that we need to choose which liberal is slightly less obnoxious. Forget Romney and look downticket. The Republicans are highly likely to hold the House and are favorites to take the Senate. That will stop us well short of the cliff edge.

And, although this doesn't refute your point, I really didn't buy the Thelma & Louise ending. It just seemed like a desperate Hollywood reach for drama. Entertaining flick, though. :)

Thank you!

you are an obot troll taking advantage of Jim’s position to alienate lurkers here who might be on the fence.

I see it that way too. Check past posting history. He did the same thing in 2007 with McCain. My guess, a skilled concern troll.

Omitted words, typos?

Happy my message got across.

Keep praying. Nothing is set in cement.

That convention remains months aaway from now, (according to my calendar).

I, for one, do not oppose Romney because he may not be electable. I oppose Romney because I am not a “Romney Republican.” My faith creates moral and ethical boundaries and Romney falls outside those boundaries. I cannot and will not support him.

If Obama gets four more there will be no repeal of Obamacare. In four years it will be implemented and will be so deeply embedded in the government and the health care industry it will be impossible to repeal.

Obama must be defeated now.

With all due respect I have to disagree. Things are that bad with an 0bama who has to stand for election. His slip up in Russia showed what he thinks "once he no longer faces an election".

Say it with me, "Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder".

[YankeeReb]

This is a strange time to be in Free republic.

Here yankee Reb says I need to go to the polls and vote for Romney in a couple of my posts others are saying how stupid I am for doing it because Romney is no conservative. There is much indecision and wrong decision ging on here lately , but Yankee needn’t worry, I will vote for Romney when he is officially our candidate. Until then I pray for a miracle, because Romney sucks.

Ditto to everything you said. Trouble is I don't see any miracles. We're facing an oncoming Tsunami if Zero gets back in, time to start thinking of grabbing what possessions you can carry and moving to higher ground. Romney isn't my ideal but with him we don't get Fed Chairman Van Jones or HHS secretary Cass Sunstien

Or Attorney General Holder,Sebelius or Napolitano, and he may do something with the EPA.
